Changelogs
Version 3.1a
slight adjustments see screenshots
Version 3.1
mananged to get some engravings on the blade as well. aligning the rune glow with the normals proved difficult so for now this is the best i can do.
Version 3
thanks to CactusSerge for pointing out an error i made. proper normal and diffuse textures applied this time.
Version 2
added missing diffuse texture.
Version 1.a
new version with refined normals.
Normally the mod ANTR silver sword is designed to show engravings based on how many runes are placed on the sword. This is great in theory but unfortunately after certain cases the engravings won't show unless you've unsheathed the sword. I personally like to see the the beautiful engravings... always so i created this mod.
This mod will show the full engravings on the sword from the get-go regardless if you've added any runes. I did reach out to nayefk through direct message back in April but he doesn't seem to read his messages. I used his normal map texture and applied part of normals found in game. Combining those normals results in this mod. See screenshot comparison.
Edited normal map of ANTR sword DLC to see those beautiful engravings on the silver sword PERMANENTLY.
